As I watched the Gorham
at Windham basketball game, I first noticed
a young female on the Gorham bench that
seemed to always jump up at timeouts. Then
I realized that she was signing to a
player. Which one? I soon figured it out.
As I watched the game unfold, I told myself
that this wasn’t an ordinary kid. He was
out playing ball and having fun. I
introduced myself to “Amanda” after the game
and asked if I could do a quick story on the
player she was signing for. She obliged and
I met Fangen Thompson and his coach Allen
Grady as the seventh grade basketball game
was played in front of us.
